Keighley Cricket Club enjoy bumper awards evening

 

Keighley Cricket Club was delighted and humbled to receive the Albert Smith Spirit of Cricket Award at the Bradford League Annual Dinner. The event, which took place at the Cedar Court Hotel in Bradford, had former England batsman Derek Randall as the guest speaker.

 

The prestigious award came in recognition of the marks received by umpires for sportsmanship in both the first and second teams. The club rightfully place great significance to the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ ethos, and this is promoted throughout the club in all the senior teams and junior section. As part of the ‘Chance to Shine’ initiative, working in local schools, Keighley Cricket Club coaches also deliver the Spirit of Cricket message to hundreds of young cricketers across the town.

 

The presentation evening was also a successful event for a number of the Keighley players on a personal level. Matthew Bottomley received the Pennine Trophy for the highest individual score in the league. Supporters of the Lawkholme Lane side will vividly remember his sparkling 166 against Idle on a glorious May afternoon this year. Matthew also shared the John Heaton Memorial Trophy with Andrew Waggett, in recognition of the highest opening partnership. Their mammoth 211 runs for the first wicket also came in the game against Idle. The two Keighley openers now find themselves in the illustrious company of Test and county cricketers to have also won the trophy, including Indian cricket legend VVS Laxman.

 

The A Leslie Mollett Trophy was awarded to Alex Towler for the second team fielding. Anyone who has seen Alex field would surely agree he is one of the most tenacious, committed and athletic out fielders to have graced Keighley Cricket Club for some time.

 

After an excellent season with the bat and behind the stumps, talented young wicket keeper Callum Jones collected the David Bairstow Golden Gloves Trophy. Callum shared the award with Shahban Raheem (Yeadon) for the most victims in a match (six).
